Terms of Use: All bookings, whether confirmed or pending an introductory meeting, are subject to our terms of use. Submission of a Booking Form constitutes acceptance of these terms and your continued use of our service will indicate your acceptance of the terms in force. As these terms may vary from time to time, you should make sure you are aware of the current version.

Our Commitment To You

We aim to meet the highest standards of care in the course of operating as a pet care company and promise to use all reasonable endeavours in providing a suitable carer to look after your dog, based on the information provided by you in the Booking Form.

Insurance

All pet carers and vehicles are insured for the safe care and transport of your animal. Animals are fully insured to travel in any vehicle driven by your pet carer. Unless you state otherwise, these terms and conditions assume that you, the client, have given permission for this.

Our insurance covers us for Public Liability which will cover injury and damage to third parties and their properties at a £2 million Limit of Indemnity . Vets fees in respect to injury to animals in our custody and control, subject to a limit of £50,000 and an excess of £25. This does not cover pre-existing conditions or care that would have occurred whether or not the animal is under the care of the company. Cover for the loss or straying of animals in our custody and control up to a maximum of £1,000 per animal. This includes cover during collection and delivery. Dogs will be exercised on a flexi-lead unless other arrangements have been made.

It is a condition precedent to liability that all locks, security and protective measures are put in operation whenever the property is left unattended or overnight.

Material Disclosure

You undertake to make full and complete disclosure in the Booking Form of any matter, fact, quality or characteristic which might render your dog unsuitable for doggy daycare including, but not limited to, behavioural or health problems, anti-social behaviour including aggression, separation anxiety, unspayed bitches in season, excessive pulling on the lead, tendency to run away or escape on walks or in the home, incontinence/lack of housetraining, destructive behaviour inside our outside the home, or excessive loud barking/whining etc. Regrettably, we may not be able to accept young puppies or elderly dogs which are infirm. We will only do so at the discretion of the company. Failure on your part to disclose in the Booking Form any matter which in our view might render your dog unsuitable for doggy daycare will be deemed a material omission amounting to a fundamental breach of this agreement, entitling us to terminate the agreement forthwith.

Payment for the booking is due in advance either by cheque or debit / credit card to head office unless otherwise agreed. For cancellation, you must give notice in writing to our Head Office enclosing any payment due. For the avoidance of doubt, purported cancellation by email or telephone is not valid notice for the purposes of this clause.

Condition of Dog on Delivery: You undertake to deliver your dog to the carer or the pet taxi service in a clean, groomed condition and up-to-date with vaccinations, worming and de-flea treatments. Any dog requiring regular grooming should also be provided with appropriate grooming equipment.

Unspayed Bitches: We reserve the right at any time to withdraw from a booking for an unspayed bitch. If there is a risk of your dog coming into season during her board you must advise us of this (see material disclosure clause above) and, if appropriate, you agree to seek the advice of your veterinary surgeon as to measures which may be taken be taken to prevent an unspayed bitch coming into season during her board. We reserve the right to seek written confirmation from your veterinary surgeon that this has been done.

If, despite our best efforts, we are unable to procure an introduction to an alternative carer, we will refund your booking deposit. If for any reason we consider a dog to be unsuitable for doggy daycare or, if a carer withdraws from a provisional booking within five days following the booking date we reserve the right to cancel such booking and refund the deposit.

Emergency Contact: All reasonable efforts will be made to contact you or the person in the UK you have nominated as authorised to make decisions on your behalf in the event of an emergency.

We reserve the right to make decisions regarding your dog provided we are at all times acting in the best interests of your dog and on the advice of a veterinary surgeon.
